Redirecting output to a log file using node.js

Here’s an example of logging to file using streams.

var logStream = fs.createWriteStream('./logFile.log', {flags: 'a'});

var spawn = require('child_process').spawn,
    ls    = spawn('ls', ['-lh', '/usr']);

ls.stdout.pipe(logStream);
ls.stderr.pipe(logStream);

ls.on('close', function (code) {
  console.log('child process exited with code ' + code);
});
